The Riddells: Jazz Hands and A Month of Firsts

Reese has had a very busy month. She has mastered clapping, waving, saying "Bye" (which at first sounded like "buh" but now sounds a little more like bye), she finally said "Dada" several times one day (and hasn't said it again since - what a tease!), fed herself with a spoon, and stood all alone without the help of a chair or Mama's hand!

She is still our happy, beautiful little girl who still LOVES to sleep more than anything, just a little more active. She is so active these days, I can't even get her to stay on her back for 30 seconds while I put her PJs on. I end up putting an arm in here and a leg in there and taking about 10 minutes until every snap is done. All the while she is happily kicking, giggling, standing, and into EVERYTHING.

36th Street had some new head shots taken because we have added 2 awesome coordinators since our last photos were taken. Resha and I took the girls along and they got into our table of jewelry. The photographer, Jennifer Nichols (who took Reese's super cute 2 month photos with the red chair!!!), couldn't resist snapping a few photos of them. This was also Reese's first time to wear a necklace and practice "jazz hands"...next thing you know I will be telling her to go wipe that lipstick off before leaving the house!

JAZZ HANDS!!!

This cracks me up. Caroline is patting Reese on the head and she is only 4 months older than her! Reese will pay her back one day when she is a foot taller than her ;)
